1. Development of Real-time Color Analysis for the On- Line Automated Weeding OperationsWeeds compete with the crop for water, light, nutrients and space, and therefore reduce crop yields and also affect the efficient use of machinery. Chemical sprayer is the most popular method to eradicate weeds but has cause hazardous to the environment, crops and workers. A smart sprayer is required to control the usage of chemical weedicides at the optimal level. Thus an on-line automated sprayer is introduced to the Malaysian farmers to locate in the real time environment the existence and... W. Wan Ismail, K. Abdul Rahman |
2. Increasing Corn (Zea Mays L.) Profitability by Site-Specific Seed and Nutrient Management in Igmand-Kisber Basin, HungaryVariable Rate Technology (VRT) in seeding and nutrient management has been developed in order to apply crop inputs variably. Farm equipment is widely available to manage in-field variability in Hungary, however, defining management zones, seed rates and amounts of nutrients is still a challenge. An increasing number of growers in Hungary have started adopting precision agriculture technology; however, data on profitability concerning site-specific seeding and nitrogen management is not widely...

3. Soil Moisture Variability on Golf Course Fairways Across the United States: an Opportunity for Water Conservation with Precision IrrigationFairways account for an average of 11.3 irrigated hectares on each of the 15,000+ golf courses in the US. Annual median water use per hectare on fairways is between ~2,800,000 and 14,000,000 liters, depending on the region. Conventional fairway irrigation relies on visual observation of the turfgrass, followed by secondary considerations of short-term weather forecasts, which oftentimes lead to “blanket” applications to the entire area. The concept of precision irrigation is a strategy... C. Straw, C. Bolton, J. Young, R. Hejl, J. Friell, E. Watkins |
4. Retrieving Nitrogen Levels in Almond Trees Using Hyperspectral Data at Leaf and Canopy LevelAlmonds are a crucial specialty crop in California, dominating approximately 80 percent of the global almond supply. To enhance nitrogen usage efficiency, reduce groundwater contamination, and optimize resource allocation, ongoing research has been dedicated to improving nitrogen management practices in almond cultivation. This study specifically focused on the retrieval of nitrogen levels with uncertainty estimation at both the leaf and canopy levels of almond trees. Hyperspectral data was collected... M.
